Jeremiah 31:1 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 31:1

At the same time, saith the Lord
The time of the Messiah, the Gospel dispensation, the latter days; when the Jews shall consider the prophecies of the Old Testament, and observe how they have been fulfilled in Jesus; and shall reflect upon their disbelief and rejection of him; and shall turn unto him, and serve the Lord their God, and David their king; see ( Jeremiah 30:9 Jeremiah 30:21 Jeremiah 30:22 Jeremiah 30:24 ) ; will I be the God of all the families of Israel;
not of some few persons only, or of one of a city, and two of a family, but of every family; and this will be when "all Israel" shall be converted and saved, and a nation shall be born at once; then will God show himself to them as their covenant God, manifest his love to them, and bestow the blessings of his grace upon them: and they shall be my people;
behave as such to him; own him to be their God, and serve and worship him.

2 In the desert I showed mercy to those people who had escaped death. When the people of Israel longed for rest,

3 I appeared to them from far away. People of Israel, I have always loved you, so I continue to show you my constant love.

4 Once again I will rebuild you. Once again you will take up your tambourines and dance joyfully.

5 Once again you will plant vineyards on the hills of Samaria, and those who plant them will eat what the vineyards produce.
